<strong>Phocos</strong> - The Company<br />

<strong>Phocos</strong> at a Glance<br />

Origin in Research<br />

The origin of <strong>Phocos</strong> lies in research: In the mid-1980s, engineers at the Ulm University of Applied Sciences developed new<br />

technologies for charge controllers. Towards the end of 2000, a group of these researchers founded <strong>Phocos</strong> AG. To this day, <strong>Phocos</strong><br />

maintains close co-operation with the Ulm University of Applied Sciences in the field of autonomous power supply.<br />

Engineering & <strong>Product</strong>ion<br />
